This sounds like a complaining post, and to a certain extent it is. It isn't about our life or our schedules though...it's more about growing older. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that I get to grow older. After all, as my husband always says, "It beats the alternative!" So true!
Last spring I was exhausted every day. I would take a nap of 20 minutes or so, literally every day. This summer, I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition and began a daily regimen of medication. I accept I will pretty much need to take this pill everyday for the rest of my life. I was astounded (and grateful for) how much better I felt. Not that I had felt lousy, but I was definitely not nearly as tired. I continue to have quarterly blood draws for now to monitor it. The last one was two months ago, and I've remained stable since the end of last summer.
Right now though, I'm taking some medication (most likely only for a couple of weeks) that is really knocking me down. I was advised to take it in the evening because it can make me drowsy, and that is an understatement as far as I'm concerned. It also makes me very emotional as it is designed to mess with my hormones. I'll be honest, it feels pretty draining right now, and I'm tired of feeling tired!
